Intro:

Am G Em Dm



Verse 1:
      Am                                G
We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
Em                             Dm
We jumped, never asking why
Am               G
We kissed, I fell under your spell

A love no one could deny

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
                    Am               F
I never hit so hard in love
                               C                       G
All I wanted was to break your walls

I put you high up in the sky
Em                             Dm
And now, you’re not coming down
Am               G
It slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we’re ashes on the ground

Pre Chorus:
Am
Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

Bridge:
F                                  Am
I never meant to start a war
                                    C
I just wanted you to let me in
                              G
And instead of using force
                                      F
I guess I should’ve let you in
                                     Am
I never meant to start a war
                                        C
I just wanted you to let me in
                                     G
I guess I should’ve let you in

Pre Chorus:
Am
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
G                          F
I will always want you


Chorus: 
                        C                 G
I came in like a wrecking ball
                   Am               F
I never hit so hard in love
                               C                       G
All I wanted was to break your walls
                              Am             F
All you ever did was wreck me
            Am        F
Yeah, you wreck me
C                G
I came in like a wrecking ball
 Am               F
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
                        C                       G
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
                         Am             F
All you ever did was wreck me
       Am        F
